Background

ATTENTION:  to join this project, please email the project's Administrator (address above).

Please see the project's Alternate Web Site for more information.

The purpose of this project is to aid genealogists researching surnames BIDDLE, BEDELL, BECHTEL, BECHTOL, etc. and their variants through the use of Y-chromosome DNA testing. All BIDDLE/etc. males are welcome to join the project. As only males have a Y-chromosome, only males can be tested. If you are female, you will need to have a male relative submit a sample on behalf of your line. To participate meaningfully, members will need to sign their Release allowing their results to be shared. Sharing results does not necessarily mean sharing one's identity (please see this FAQ for a discussion of privacy). Members will also need to share their patrilineal ancestry back to their earliest known ancestor, preferably in the form of a GEDCOM. Sharing results and patrilineal ancestry is a requirement, not an option, for participation in the project — there's no real point being Y-DNA tested or joining a project if you don't share.

The FamilyTreeDNA web site indicates that five BIDDLEs and one BIDLE were tested with them prior to the opening of this project. We would like to especially encourage these individuals to join the BIDDLE Y-DNA project.
